Misheard Lyrics

	  		
Intro: G    F#m G   F#m G  G A 

(Repeats 8 times; drum groove comes in after 4; tab comes in after 6) 

(N.C., only bass) 
G            F#m  G           F#m 
Everything you say is a bridge 
G                     A 
Everything you do is water under it 
G               F#m  G          F#m 
These are not the original lyrics 
G                  A 
Such a worthless waste of time to write about 

(Chords come in) 
G                  F#m  G 
Every bit of you that I don't love 
F#m G                 A 
Is filled up with my hate 
G        F#m  G 
I was a situation 
F#m   G                   A 
That you were glad went away 

G                    F#m  G        F#m 
Move move forward like a human being 
G                       A 
(sometimes you have to kill things to impress your friends) 
G                        F#m  G          F#m 
You probably looked like an idiot in that hat 
G                          A 
(used to feel bad about crushing ants) 

(why why why why why to die) 
G         F#m G         F#m   G                A 
I can't go back to not understanding what you mean to me 
G          F#m G             F#m  G                   A 
I’m turning into the person that you were afraid I’d turn out to be 

(Tab for 2 chord progresssions) 

(N.C., only bass) 
G                              F#m  G      F#m 
There is something in me that can only give 
G                                       A 
There is something in you that can only give out 
G                           F#m G            F#m G 
When you hear my songs do you get that feeling 
                       A 
And if not, what the hell were you hearing? 

(Chords come in) 
G            F#m G      F#m G 
I am not crazy, I am right 
                 A                    G 
What do you mean? what are saying to me? 
   F#m     G             F#m G 
I was just another bird you touched 
                     A 
Whose mother won't take him back 

      G        F#m G         F#m 
I’m sorry I misheard your lyrics 
G                          A 
(tried to smile but it didn’t show up in the photograph) 
G                           F#m  G 
I was searching for a soul to sell my devils to 
F#m    G                          A 
(all I wanted was sleep and you took it away) 


(yes yes yes yes yes I dislike I hate) 
G             F#m G               F#m  G                     A 
Did you do something wrong was there something you did that I could blame 
G             F#m  G                  F#m G                  A 
I thought I was open I thought I was intimate and then you asked me my name 

(N.C., only bass and tab) 
G            F#m  G             F#m 
By the time they send the lifeboats 
G                 A 
I won’t want to leave the island 
G              F#m G             F#m 
Calling out to distant shorelines 
G                  A 
Calling out for different basslines 

(bass solo for 2 chord progressions, tab for 2) 

(with only chords on top) 
*AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH* 
(for two more chord progressions) 

(with chords) 
G        F#m G           F#m G                A 
I can’t go back to not understanding what you mean to me 
G           F#m G               F#m G                     A 
I’m turning into the person that you were afraid that I’d turn out to be 

G              F#m G 
Did you do something 
          F#m  G                 A 
Was there something you did that I could blame? 
G             F#m  G 
I thought I was open 
             F#m G                     A 
I thought I was intimate and then you asked me my name 

(N.C., only bass and groove) 
G    F#m G       F#m G       A 
Ooh, it was nothing special 
G    F#m G       F#m G       A 
Ooh, it was nothing sacred 
G 
Just hands held 
F#m   G 
And shoulders rubbed 
F#m   G 
And voices touched 
     A 
In holy harmony 

(4 bars of drum groove at the end)
